Early this morning, the Southwest Greensburg Fire Department's Truck 24 responded to assist the Irwin Fire Department in battling a challenging fire that broke out in a multi-use building. The structure, which housed several businesses on the first floor and apartments on the second, sustained significant damage as firefighters worked diligently to contain and extinguish the blaze.

The Truck 24 crew spent several hours on scene, performing critical tasks such as “opening up” the structure and conducting an extensive overhaul to ensure that all remnants of fire were eliminated. The building, which had undergone multiple renovations over the years, presented unique challenges as firefighters navigated through various structural modifications while working to secure the area.

“Our team worked seamlessly alongside Irwin Fire Department to address the complexities of this fire,” said the Southwest Greensburg Fire Chief. “The safety of the residents and the preservation of surrounding properties were our highest priorities. I’m proud of the commitment and professionalism our crew demonstrated in this extensive operation.”

The multi-agency response reflects the strong collaboration between regional fire departments in handling incidents of this nature. As always, the Southwest Greensburg Fire Department remains committed to protecting lives and property through rapid, effective emergency response efforts.
